Re: DeDietrich oven hinges.
Does anyone know a reliable source for DeDietrich spares? Or the manufacturer’s spares department telephone number?
Thanks!!!

Re: Indesit wiring harness part number?
Try EMW – they supply some edge connectors for their modules. You may be lucky! 8)

Re: Blomberg 1305ABB timer and interlock.
Don’t worry, Chris, an interlock is due in today – used a Hotpoint one to test it first then substituted the old one for a trial; just happened to work. It was the perennial “Do we fix it or don’t we” scenario and needed to be proven OK to the customer. It went bang as she was pouring water all over the front of the machine and a cupful in the soap drawer!! The saucepan was the lower part of an old pressure cooker.
And the ‘small’ amount of water – well let’s just say even Noah would have been worried. 😆Thanks for your help!

Re: WMA35 – Wash Cycle getting stuck @ end
You can check the sump hose/ filter first for blockages – accessible through the small cover plate on the rear of the machine. If your machine is connected to a sink trap be sure to check that the washing machine outlet hose and the nozzle it fits to are clear.
If no blockages are found, then it could be the pump or control PCB at fault. It is advisable at this point to call an engineer. You will risk wasting money if you buy expensive parts you may not need. Click the banner below for an engineer in your area.Always – ensure power is off before any inspection.

Re: Blomberg 1305ABB timer and interlock.
Thanks, everyone!! 😀
Sorted the problem – soldered the tracks back onto the timer, dried out the door interlock ( 😕 ) and hey presto!! It lives!!
No obvious reason found for the water ingress – so I asked the customer. “Well, I didn’t think there was enough powder in the wash, so I added some extra in the soap drawer and washed it down with a saucepan full of hot water. I did spill a bit down the front and on the floor – Sorry, I forgot to mention that…..didn’t I?” 😯Hmmmm…… :rolls:

Re: Diplomat Washer Dryer Model APM8702
Is this the same type of integrated w/d as CDA produce? Has 3 recessed knobs and 4 buttons?
If so, one of the buttons doubles as the drier activator (remember the old Servis and Whirlpool machines? The 1/2 load button had to be pressed in to switch on the drier? 😉 ). Set the machine to dry and press each of the buttons in turn.
Worth a look!!Steve.
Re: zanussi fle1216
Probably the edge connector and plug on the user interface (facia) PCB. They often suffer with loose or dirty connections causing intermittent failure.
Take out the PCB, clean the connection contacts on the board and gently squeeze the edge connector plug with pliers to tighten it and refit. That should sort it!! 8)Steve.
Re: Do you turn dishwashers upside down?
All this and it was just unplugged in the cupboard!!! :rotl:
Re: Zanussi TL1033
Part number 5031682049693 @ £2.73 + VAT and in stock at Connect.
This is the control knob part that has a locating tang that shears off and the knob goes round winding the spring underneath.
Hope that helps!!!Steve.
Re: 20 year old Neff oven
Have you tried the Qualtex made Neff fan motor MTR213? I’ve fitted that motor to many old Neff ovens with and without the mounting faceplate. Very versatile motor and very cheap too. 8)
Hope that helps,

Re: Hotpoint Welded tubs
Great article Ken!!
And I thought I was just a miserable sod going on about the impending disaster – code named WEEE. (WEEE!! went the 13 month old Indesit; out of the hatchback and into the layby). 😆 😆
But joking aside, this blatantly wasteful and misleading situation cannot continue.
About a month or so back the Mail published an article on WEEE and showed evocative pictures of piles of scrap whitegoods. The Mail then invited people to leave comments on their website. Both Dave and Ken posted comments on the site. My post mentioned sealed tubs and overpriced spares (no names were mentioned) but the post never appeared.
My last post in ‘The Rumour Mill’ under the heading ‘WMA tubs’ is a possible variation of the pointless ‘A ratings’ that manufacturers love so much. Maybe such a scheme would be more realistic than ‘A ratings’; it may even change the market and persuade the guilty parties to think again. 😉
Yes, Martin; I’m in! 😉Steve.
Re: Cleaning Door Seals
Clean cellulose thinners on a clean rag will make even a tired and dirty door boot look great. It also removes that green/brown greasy discolouration often seen on the sealing lip of Hotpoint WM boots. 😉 Soak the rag and wipe smoothly over the surface – no effort required!! 😀

Re: Zannussi E80
Zanussi E80 codes relate to recirculating pump problems or possibly PCB failure.
Either:- Pump or associated system blocked; wiring problem; recirc. pump shot; lastly main PCB fault. (sensing on recirc. pump triac).Hope that helps,
Steve.
Re: New World EC60 ceramic hob simmerstat.
I’ve tried the MP 354SV 23/06/04/4 number on Connections – not found. Is that the part no? 😕 😕 Is it not recognised because it’s a genuine part number? I think I’ve read somewhere on this site that it is possible to get Connections altered to show genuine part numbers only. Is that correct? Help please!! 😀
Steve.
